DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:20 p.m. Tabe van der Zwaag March 16, 2010 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18708 — TAVA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY - A request to subdivide 5.02 gross acres of land into 7 lots in the Very Low Residential District (.1-2 dwelling units per acre) within the Etiwanda Specific Plan, located east of East Avenue and on the south side of Banyan Street - APN: 0226-102-02. Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. Site Characteristics: The 5.02-acre site is dominated by sparse native vegetation and drains roughly from north to south. The same developer has an approved 56-lot subdivision (SUBTT17651) to the west with which the project will share a public street. There are vacant lots to the north and south and San Bernardino Flood Control property to the east. The properties to the north, south, and west are zoned Very Low Residential (VL) (.1-2 dwelling units per acre). The property to the east is zoned Open Space (OP). Proiect Overview: The site is within the Very Low Development District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan (ESP). The applicant is requesting approval to subdivide 5.02 acres into 7 lots for the development of single-family homes; however, no housing product is proposed at this time. The project is designed to be a natural extension of the approved Tentative Tract Map to the west and meets all required Development Standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan: Required by the ESP Proposed by Applicant Minimum Net Average Lot Area 25,000 square feet 26,881 square feet Minimum Net Lot Area 20,000 square feet 26,645 square feet Lot Width at Front Setback 90 feet 92 feet minimum Lot Depth 200 feet 291 feet minimum Minimum Frontage at Front P.L. 40 feet 90 feet minimum Trail Advisory Committee: The project went to the Trails Advisory Committee (TRC) on August 13, 2008, in order to determine the termination point of the master-planned Community Trail. The choice before the TRC was whether the Community Trail, which is planned to run along the south property line of the project to the west, should end at the west property line of the site, to become a local feeder trail, or should end at the east property line of the site. The Committee recommended that the Community Trail continue to the east property line of the site with the applicant providing 12 feet of the 20-foot trail and the property owner to the south providing 8 feet. When the site is ultimately developed, the applicant has proposed providing 15 feet of the trail, with the property owner to the south providing 5 feet. At the Committee's recommendation, the applicant has provided a temporary vehicle turnaround where the feeder trail, which is planned to run along the east property line of the site, dead ends into the vacant property to the north. The turnaround may be vacated when the property to the north develops and provides access to the future Community Trail along Banyan Avenue. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: None. Secondary Issues: None.
